... I mean, you can actually probably go without a computer entirely for a month.

What advantages does the blockchain give compared to just having a government website that allows you to download a zip archive of these documents?

(Also, having public records of house ownership and tax is a terrible idea in general...)

Giving everyone a gpg is a fair idea (with pros and cons), but I'm not sure what you mean by including blockchain?

So aside for a few wording and technical issues, something stuck out to me. Using "special" to refer to neurodivergence is a bit problematic and potentially dogwhistley because of the historical contexts it's been used in to dismiss and look down on people. And even if it wasn't, it's a bit ambiguous; can someone who feels that they are in touch with their "spiritual side" consider themselves to have a "special brain"?

If you're wondering about neurodivergence, probably better to just ask "Are you neurodivergent?" rather than using euphemisms.

"Learning how to learn" is an important skill that I think people overlook. It's important to know how to get information and understand things when the AI isn't helpful.

My worry isn't about "AI taking our jobs", it's that people will not learn the skills and abilities to progress beyond junior levels due to relying on AI.

... Or maybe that's just me being a grumpy old fogey.

Out of interest, what did you have trouble understanding? I'm always curious about how people learn programming and how resources can be improved.

Maybe we'd be warmer towards AI if it wasn't being used as a way for big companies to steal content from smaller creative types in order to fund valueless wealth generators.

Big surprise that a group consisting of people rather than corporations is mad about it.

I checked, and according to Statcounter it's at 3.3%. So if Mozilla did go hardball, it'd affect an insignificant amount of people.

Realistically though, I don't follow world politics much but I assume that "blocking firefox" probably wouldn't be the worst optics they've had in the past few years.

It's either get the addons removed, or get the whole addon store itself blocked. You can just install the extension from an xpi file.

Mozilla really isn't in a position to fight the Russian government over this and win.

Probably focus "full time" on indie gamedev.

Used to have two, one in beehaw and one on sh.itjust.works, but then drama happened and I decided to embrace the owo. So nowadays I just have this account and a secret other account for posting cringe.

How much log information is being printed to the console? If it's logging something every frame then that could be using a ton of resources.

I have a Windows dual boot for the (nowadays rather rare) cases where a game won't run in Linux.

Interestingly, I spent a while trying to get League of Legends working with their new rootkit requirements... But my Windows-using friends weren't comfortable playing the game any more.

Tbh, I'd rather they use the money to make Linux distros better. Valve made the Steam deck a winner not through advertising, but through making a good quality product and supporting the ecosystem.

I have no interest in people making Linux popular beyond the minimum required to get companies to support it. If it's good, people will naturally learn about it through word of mouth.

Also, directly attacking Microsoft feels like they could get sued for libel or something like that.

"Please exercise more and get in shape".

ur cute

I'm shocked and offended at this!

Why would you have "Elon Musk" when just "Musk" is shorter and catches more.

(Also, my sympathies to all the trans people out there who have to put up with this obvious ragebait. You are all valid and I wish you the best. <3)
